Ahhhh............5-10 with LTs, that's a little more believable.

Anywho, I'll put it this way, GTs struggle to get more than 6 rwhp with shorties, so a V6 isn't gonna get much, if anything at all, because stock sixer headers flow fairly well. I only reccommend changng the headers if something is wrong with your stockers.
alot better than the15- 20 he was claiming. i don't reccomend getting shorties for anything, they don't flow that great, and most of the time they cost too much

Well i felt it a lot more when I put mine in, but I deal with modifying cars and trucks all day long, so I know what to look and feel for. LT's will also enhance any other engine mod, mainly power adders, that you do.
